Milk Chocolate Brownie Explosion

Why Milk Chocolate Brownies with a Milk Chocolate Ganache? Because sometimes milk chocolate is the only thing that will do.

Sure, you may feel like you are going on a date with dark chocolate’s cheaper cousin but there are times when milk chocolate is the answer to all your desires.

Is it just me? Surely not!

So when my very pregnant girlfriend in Salt Lake City expressed an incurable craving for milk chocolate, I knew just what to send her!

Milk chocolate brownies with a milk chocolate ganache topping, of course! These are fudgy, rich and completely decadent brownies. They almost melt on your tongue.

Even a dark chocolate purest {ahem. yours truly.} will gobble these up.

You could lose yourself in a plate of these brownies and that would be OKAY.

It’s a good thing I had already committed to sending these to my BFF in Salt Lake City or I would be writing this post 10 pounds heavier.

Seriously. They are so rich and decadent that you feel you might not make it. Like you might just want to lose yourself in a pan of these milk chocolate brownies and never see the light of day again.

One bite and I was a goner.

On a Side Note: These brownies are not ideal for shipping cross-country or anywhere for that matter. There are treats that travel well, but these most certainly aren’t one of them. I’m going to risk ruining your good opinion of me by telling you that I actually put them in an inflated ziptop baggie and muscled them into a flat-rate envelope at the post office. Even my favorite postal worker knew it was nuts, “Gurrrl, whatchu doin’? Yous craaazy!” True that.

That being said, they actually arrived in one piece with minimal smashage. Shocking really. I heard no complaints!

Because milk chocolate is the flavor star in these brownies, you should use the highest quality milk chocolate you can find. I think you know me well enough by now to know that I used Ghirardelli! {And, no, Ghirardelli does not sponsor these posts, although I wish they would. Hint, hint.}

Just in case these brownies aren’t rich enough for you, you can top them off with a drizzle of salted caramel as I did prior to mailing. Did the caramel drizzle improve their “shippability”? Absolutely not, but it did make them even more addicting!

Rich, fudgy and decadent these Milk Chocolate Brownies with a creamy milk chocolate ganache will satisfy any chocolate craving! These brownies are so addicting, before you even know what happened, the whole plate will be gone!

Looks heavenly. I think milk chocolate is probably my favorite too. I rarely keep it in my pantry though for baking. I was just looking for a cookies to make to bring to work tomorrow and decided on one that calls for milk chocolate. I will have to stop by the store on my way home or get a Hersheys bar from our vending machine.Phillip recently posted…Jelly Roll

Oh I definitely stock my pantry full of any type of chip imaginable!! It’s bad for the waistline but it does make whipping up recipes randomly easier! I hope you share the recipe you are making for the office!

Making my mouth water at 5:30 a.m., now craving a chocolate brownie. Nice! These look amazing. Although I have to say, I’m completely baffled (and jealous?) that you were able to put them in a flat rate envelope and they arrived safely. Girl, that is talent!Kristi @ Inspiration Kitchen recently posted…Chipotle Margarita

There is nothing wrong with dessert for breakfast, or so you keep telling me! As for the mailing, I think that was just good old-fashioned luck! It’s not necessary something I would expect to work again. 🙂

Oh my goodness, Lindsey, these look amazing! I’m with you on the love of dark chocolate, but these these look so rich and fudgy. We need variety in our brownie diet, right? Pinned!Kristine @ Kristine’s Kitchen recently posted…Lemon Ricotta Cake with Almond Glaze

I am very sorry! For these brownies I altered another brownie recipe that does have coffee in it, but I removed it from the ingredients because pregnant woman can’t have coffee! Thanks for letting me know – I’ll fix the instructions immediately.
